We all deserve a fair shot at wellbeing. The Council for Juvenile Justice Administrators shares in their recently published position paper, “The Importance of Creating and Sustaining Organizational Wellbeing,” how to apply a wellbeing framework to juvenile justice. The paper includes an overview of approaches that support and undermine youth wellbeing and strategies to support wellbeing among the staff and organizations that work in the juvenile justice system. We’re thrilled that FFI’s Senior Fellow, Phyllis Becker, contributed as a co-author to this paper.
In early 2024, FFI Senior Fellow Phyllis Becker was joined by Henry A.J. Ramos and Gladys Carrión, two leaders who are transforming both the narratives that shape perceptions of crime and the systemic responses. Tune into their conversation as they shift the narrative on youth justice to highlight solutions that center wellbeing.
FFI Senior Fellow Phyllis Becker, and Henry A. J. Ramos of The New School Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy explore how centering youth, families and communities creates more sustainable responses to crime.
